Finally Got my Key to the City (GTA IV)

I finally received my Key to Liberty City, a nice little piece of gamer swag to show I completed Grand Theft Auto IV 100% in the first three weeks or so it was out. All that pigeon hunting was finally almost worth it. It is nice, though, really.

The Simpsons Negatively Mentions Video Games

I don't really want to be the Entertainment Police, but I should go ahead and mention that the latest episode of The Simpsons did present video games in a negative light, as I'm sure GamePolitics will point out in a day or two.

Bart was sitting in the back of the family car playing a Game Boy, the game being displayed as "Cereal Killer". It appears to be a first-person shooter where the player shoots several cereal mascots, like Cap'n Crunch and Toucan Sam. Homer later comments "Video games... Why this American generation will be the greatest ever..."

Just a bit insulting, I guess. Not a huge deal.
